Synopsis

Chapter 1 - The Village

The village was quiet, too quiet. The moon hung low in the sky, casting eerie shadows across the cobblestone streets. The only sound was the faint rustling of leaves in the breeze. A young girl walked down the street, her footsteps echoing through the empty town. Her name was Naz, and she was on her way home from the village head House. She was covered with blood all over her body. And was crying as she walks shivering and crying, she kept on looking around as she's afraid and shivering of what may come of her.

As she turned the corner, she saw a group of men standing in front of her house. She recognizes them instantly they were the village head guards, and some of the villager's. They wore long black clothes and carried torches and pitchforks. Naz's heart sank. Her parents were accused of witchcraft, and they had been hiding in their home ever since.

Which's more reason why she was taking by the village head against that of her will and that of her parents.

Naz ran towards her house, hoping to warn her parents. But it was too late. The guards and the villagers had already broken down the door and stormed inside. Naz could hear her parents screaming and begging for mercy. She hid behind a nearby tree, too afraid to move.

" Please, Don't kill my children. Please." Her mom pleading for her siblings lives.

" Shut up!." One of them screamed at her.

" Kill me, and let my family go." Naz shut both her eyes. She was in so much pain hearing her parents pleading for mercy onΒ  something they never did. One thing she know is that they have supernatural powers which she's yet to gain her's until she turn to the age of 15yrs, which will soon come.

But her parents has never thought of harming anyone not to think of killing them.

" You there! Take that girl inside i need to check her." One of the guards said, sounding at the hight tone of his voice. As the guard started dragging her she started screaming.

That's Naz one and only cousin. Who lives with them after loosing all her parents, she has no one but them. Naz, can hear her cousin sister crying for help as the guards are raping her continuesly. Naz's crying so much that she's powerless and cannot even help her on family.

"Just burn them!." One of the guards said.

" Yes, they should all be killed tonight. As they're filled with evil."

" They have been Killing our people all these while unnoticed, thank god for the village head for unavailing those evil beings." The villagers continues to talk ill of her family.

Minutes passed, and the screams stopped. Naz knew what that meant. Her parents were dead. Tears streamed down her face as she watched the villagers set fire to her home.

As the flames grew higher, Naz knew she had to leave. She ran away from the village, not looking back. She had nowhere to go, no one to turn to. Her life would never be the same again.
